Benitez chases £10m Aimar

[Morrison]

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has made Valencia playmaker Pablo Aimar his main target this summer.

The Argentine midfielder, valued at £10m, has a good relationship with Benitez - the man who brought him to Europe when he was coach of Valencia - and Aimar would relish a chance in the Premiership.

"Benitez is an excellent coach who knows me well and Liverpool would be an ideal place to go if I can't sort out my future here," said the 28-year-old. "English football is the best in Europe next to Spain and I do not think I'd have a problem adapting to the Premiership."

The European Cup winners are also said to be chasing Real Zaragoza defender Gabriel Milito.

Milito is one of the most highly-rated defenders in La Liga but Zaragoza may be forced to sell as they struggle with debts approaching £30m.

Morientes - Cissé
Aimar?
Luis Garcia - Xabi Alonso - Steven Gerrard
Riise - Milito? - Carragher - Finnan?
Reina

if you get him for 10m that is THE best buy EVER.

Truly world class and there is no one else in the world that can play the hole like he does.
